Members of the public will again have a chance to voice their opinions on a proposal to build an Indian casino and hotel complex on the Richmond waterfront.

Contra Costa County supervisors have scheduled time for more public comment when they take up a slightly altered draft of the casino plan during their meeting Tuesday.

Under the latest proposal, $1 million of the $12 million in annual fees expected to be collected under the proposed agreement with the Guidiville Band of Pomo Indians would be used to boost sheriff's patrols.

Another $4 million would go to health programs and services during the first seven years the casino would be in business.
